Lets Talk About Coffee

-
I buy drinking water in 50 gallon batches. The well water here is terrible, and the city water is no better. We use drinking water for the coffee, and cooking,
and the dogs go through a five gallon bottle in two days.
Our well water is hands down the best water I've ever tasted. We are really fortunate about that.
 
Funny, my inlaws used to drink that stuff (in fact, they serve it at gas stations in Chile)
When I first started coming around they would offer me a cup of "coffee" and I fell for it once

Ever since, when they offer coffee I ask if it is real
When they say "instant" I'll say just gimme tea
 
I’m super lucky ….my wife and best friend both own coffee companies… I get to sample the very best beans from all over the world…some of it is $80 a pound…plus we have all kinds of equipment at home to brew with…

Guess I'm just a simple man. Probably cost .25 a cup. None of that 5 bucks BS for me.
 
I guess I am a pussy guy. I put 2 heaping tablespoons to a 12 cup pot and that seems way plenty strong to me.
Maybe one day I might buy my first up of coffee at a Starbucks. Probably NOT.

I use 4 heapings.......much as it can hold. I guess that's probably close to 8 measured tablespoons. I've never measured it because it tastes good to me so.......
 
I was the coffee maker at 3 different AA meetings every week for 8 years consecutively.
Big urns, medium urns, small pots.
Honestly I did it so I didn't have to talk to anyone & I know this has nothing to do with the subject besides the thread title lol.
The moral of my story is I never measured **** and when I passed it on, I told the girl do what feels best to you so she made coffee that made people agitated and probably high lol .
I poured the raw crude once in my cup and put it in the garbage

Yep, I made the mistake of using our well water in our new coffee maker it made it very slow after the first week... CLR fixed it.

I just did a little test. Do you use a tablespoon from your silverware drawer or a measuring spoon? A tablespoon out of my silverware drawer, heaping, was 3 tablespoons using a measuring spoon. The coffee measure, level full, was 2 tablespoons using a measuring spoon.

No sir. I use a tablespoon from the silverware drawer. It's the bigger of the two spoon sizes.

So if you are using a heaping spoon like that you are getting 3 measured tablespoons of coffee. You aren't using any more or less than the rest of us.

All I know is it tastes about right to me. lol
 
When I WAS making coffee for a while there (my girlfriend fell, and shattered her knee) I was using two slightly heaping scoops, (whatever that measure was) per 10 cups in a twelve cup maker. Seemed about right, and I got no complaints...... but when she got on her feet again, it was HER job to make the coffee. She told me so.
Okay with me, I like her coffee.

To how many cups of water?
 
Looks like I need to pick some up next time I'm there.
